473394 - Cross-posted news messages not marked as read in all folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43278

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Ian Williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.19 (20081209)

When a message is cross-posted to multiple newsgroups and it's read in one newsgroup, it's not marked as read in the other newsgroups it was cross-posted to. Consequently, when reading news messages you have to remember which messages you've read in another newsgroup and then ignore them in the other newsgroups and after reading the non-duplicate messages, mark the folder as read.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to a related set of newsgroups, eg comp.os.linux.* 
2. Download the messages
3. Read messages and look for cross-posted ones
Actual Results:  
When changing newsgroup the read cross-posted messages are still shoing as unread in the subsequent newsgroup(s)

Expected Results:  
The cross-posted messages should have been marked as read, and there with my setting of not to showread messages should not be visible.
